The hesten were a species of primates.

"When our ancestors were still howling primates, our galaxy was ruled by a species that could create, reconfigure or destroy star systems according to some unimaginable whim."
―Dr. Insmot Bowen[1]

Primates,[2] also known as simians,[3] were an order of mammals that exhibited the characteristics of apes or monkeys, such as fur, fingers, and opposable thumbs. Because of their similarity to Humans,[2] which were primates themselves,[1] those species were often referred to as humanoids, though it depended on their sentience designation. Most primates gave birth to a single live young at a time, although multiple births were not unheard of in Humans.[2] Examples of non-Human primates included the hesten, momongs,[4] Taurill,[5] and nightmare demons.[6] The wampas, which were reptomammalian creatures, were also linked to primates.[2]

Taungs and Humans were considered to be a simian species. The avian Quor'sav species had several insults to use against simians.[3]
